When I first heard that our task in Media was to create a 1 minute video involving photos and recordings, I was pretty confident that I could come up with something mildly ok. However when I learned that the video had to be a self-portrait, a compilation of things reflecting myself, I freaked out a little. When I started collecting things to actually put in the video I didn’t like anything I chose because I felt like there were too many things to choose from but also not enough to fit into a 1 minute video! So as you can tell I didn’t exactly have the best time in completing this task. What I did come up with isn’t really something I’m proud of, if I’d thought it through more, there’d be more of a story to it and I would’ve have used my camera rather than iphone. I chose to use my iphone because it meant I could capture things wherever I was and not have to worry about carting a big camera with me everywhere just in case I was suddenly inspired to film something, but it meant that the quality of my footage was severely average. I also hadn’t had much experience in editing. I enjoyed playing around in Final Cut and learning a few new tricks though which is definitely something good that came out of this task.
